Celestial sky dilemma

I have recently been offered a good price on this watch, I have a buyer ready and the quick wheeler deal will probably net me some cash, which is nice.

But as a watch lover, I have flipped a few watches in my time but only for personal purposes, I am afraid that if I went ahead with this...

I would fall so deeply in love with the Celestial Sky that I would keep it. Which would really really make a dent in the bank account.

Do you think you can resist the temptation?

If you can pick it up for a good price then get it and keep it. The bank account will recover.

It is an excellent watch and if the net increase in cash isn't substantial, I would keep it.

No strings. Buy for a dollar sell for two. Unless you are going to be jeopardizing your AD relationship, I say go ahead.

If it's priced right... enjoy.

So the question is:
1. buy and sell immediately for a quick profit
2. or buy and keep

I wouldn’t do 1. personally but it’s entirely your choice.

Option 2. Do you like the celestial? I love it, but it’s a lot of money if you’re uncertain about it

When spending this sort of money I think you are beyond needing the opinion from a forum.

Better get your buyer’s money in advance of purchasing because these do not move fast even if you can get a deep discount. It is a beautiful watch but really expensive and a very small market for it. Good luck!
